Chapter 2437: Not Blessed (2)

Didn’t Qiao Nan record videos of the three children playing and learning?

Weren’t there images and sounds if she showed these contents to Ding Jiayi?

Thankfully, Qiao Nan was obsessed with her children. The photos in her mobile were all of her children. There was nothing of her or Zhai Sheng.

Who would have thought that a person who loved to take photos with her mobile didn’t even have a photo of her and her husband in it?

However, the couple had a great relationship and people couldn’t help but envy.

After playing two videos for Ding Jiayi and calculating the time, Qiao Nan felt that it was about right. If she was any later, the three children, who were in an unfamiliar environment, would probably be anxious to find her. Qiao Nan kept her mobile. “I have to go. If you have any questions, you can ask me next time. I’ll see how much I can help you.”

“Alright…”

No matter how unwilling Ding Jiayi was, she had gotten Qiao Nan to accompany her for ten minutes.

Qiao Nan had returned today. Those old neighbors of Ding Jiayi, who were unwilling to see her without consequences, were about to start a gambling game. They were betting if Qiao Nan would still be willing to visit Ding Jiayi once she returned.

If Qiao Nan was forced by some reason and had compromised to visit Ding Jiayi, how long would she stay in the Qiao family?

Everyone guessed that it was either Qiao Nan didn’t return to the quad, or if she did, she would definitely visit Ding Jiayi, no matter if she was sincere about it or not. There was no choice. China placed importance on filial piety.

No matter how bad Ding Jiayi was and how much she didn’t deserve to have such a good daughter like Qiao Nan, she had given birth to her, allowing Qiao Nan to live to this day.

This couldn’t be changed. Qiao Nan still had to address Ding Jiayi as her mom and visit her whenever she should visit her.

As such, there wasn’t much suspense for the former question. Everyone didn’t discuss this enthusiastically.

However, everyone became more excited about the second question.

Qiao Nan was born to Ding Jiayi. Zhai Sheng wasn’t.

Zhai Sheng and Qiao Nan didn’t even invite Ding Jiayi to their wedding banquet when they got married previously. Zhai Sheng didn’t have to care about what Qiao Nan had to do.

Indeed, only Qiao Nan returned to the Qiao family’s courtyard. No one saw Zhai Sheng, let alone the three children they gave birth to.

Qiao Nan didn’t bring her husband and three children to visit Ding Jiayi. In view of this situation, no one in the quad criticized Qiao Nan.

It wasn’t as if they didn’t know what type of a person Ding Jiayi was. Ding Jiayi didn’t even value Qiao Nan, her daughter. How would she really like Zhai Sheng, her son-in-law, or even value the three children Qiao Nan gave birth to?

If they, as old neighbors, had misunderstood or thought wrongly about Ding Jiayi, why was it that only Qiao Dongliang, her father, was busy when Qiao Nan gave birth to the three children? He first prepared this and that for his pregnant daughter, then packed his luggage and rushed to the capital to see Qiao Nan, who was about to give birth.

Which biological mother wouldn’t take care of her daughter in confinement and help her take care of her children after giving birth?

Ding Jiayi was such an outlier. Qiao Nan had given birth to three children at once. However, it was as if nothing had happened as Ding Jiayi didn’t have any reaction at all.

Everyone saw how in peace Ding Jiayi was during that period of time. It was as if Qiao Nan, who was pregnant at an older age, wasn’t her daughter. Everyone was guessing that Ding Jiayi wouldn’t be willing to spend her phone credit to call Qiao Dongliang and ask him about Qiao Nan’s and the three children’s situation, let alone visit Qiao Nan.

It was obvious that Ding Jiayi hated one thing on account of another. As she didn’t like Qiao Nan, she also hated the three children in Qiao Nan’s stomach.

In the face of a person like Ding Jiayi, everyone expressed understanding that Zhai Sheng didn’t acknowledge her as his mother-in-law and Qiao Nan wasn’t willing to bring her three children to visit their grandmother.

It was still that saying. Because of blood ties, Qiao Nan had to be restrained by kinship and kidnapped by morals.

However, everyone’s expectations of Zhai Sheng and the three children weren’t that harsh and demanding.

The next question came. Qiao Nan didn’t have much of a mother-daughter relationship with Ding Jiayi. Everyone also knew how much Ding Jiayi hated Qiao Nan.

Under such circumstances, how long would Qiao Nan’s visit to the Qiao family be?

Some people guessed one minute.

Some people guessed three minutes.

However, everyone guessed that she wouldn’t stay past ten minutes.

These people were just watching the excitement. Thus, they didn’t complain about the crowd.

However, some people joked that it was certain that Qiao Nan would return to visit Ding Jiayi. Qiao Nan was a good child to begin with. Ding Jiayi was the bad person.

As such, Ding Jiayi might be unwilling to open the door to let Qiao Nan enter if she visited her.

As she heard the content of these discussions, Ding Jiayi secretly became calculative in her heart.

In the beginning, Ding Jiayi wanted to use the truth to prove to everyone that no matter how she treated Qiao Nan, she was still her mother. It was the same reasoning as to how her father was still her father.

She would naturally let Qiao Nan enter. However, she was her mom. She had the right to punish Qiao Nan by making her stand outside the door for a while.

This was the difference between her and Qiao Nan. Those who wanted to watch a good show? Sorry, but they were going to be disappointed.

See? She deliberately didn’t let Qiao Nan into the house. Qiao Nan could only stand outside the house and wait for her to open the door as if she was being punished. No matter how much of a miserable state she was in, with Qiao Nan as a daughter, she was much better than these old neighbors.

Want to watch a good show? Wait for the next lifetime.

It was a pity that Qiao Nan didn’t cooperate in the end and this plan failed.

Thankfully, Ding Jiayi had a backup plan.

She had a preliminary understanding of the three children such that once she contacted Qiao Dongliang, she would definitely be able to have a good chat with him on the topics he was interested in.

She also managed to get Qiao Nan to chat with her for more than ten minutes. Those who made fun of her didn’t get their way.

The plan was still considered to be perfectly executed. When Qiao Nan expressed again that she had to go back, it was rare for Ding Jiayi to give her a smile. “That’s right. Your children are still young. They can’t live without the care of their mother. When you and Zijin were young, I treated the both of you this way as well. How good. You’re now a mother and even have three children. I wasn’t calculative with you in the past. I believe that you would gradually rely on yourself to understand certain matters and feelings. Go back now. Don’t make the three children anxious from waiting.”

Qiao Nan couldn’t help but change her face when she heard Ding Jiayi’s words.

It was only when Qiao Nan was speaking and Ding Jiayi was listening could an illusion that the mother-daughter pair could get along well with each other be created.
